 When Princess Elsa and Princess Anna of Arendelle were little
girls, they were the best of friends. Anna was one of the only
people who knew Elsa’s secret: Elsa had the power to make snow
and ice with just her hands!
One night, Elsa filled an empty ballroom with snow. The sisters
played together, building a snowman, sledding, and ice skating.
 Even though Anna got better, her parents worried that people
would fear Elsa’s powers. To keep her gift a secret, they surrounded
the castle with walls and never let anyone inside.
But whenever Elsa had strong feelings, the magic still spilled
out. Elsa didn’t want to hurt her sister again, so she never played
with Anna. That made Anna feel very lonely.
Even after their parents were lost in a storm at sea, the sisters
didn’t spend any time together.
 At the coronation party, Anna danced with handsome
Prince Hans from the Southern Isles. He made her heart
flutter. It seemed like they had everything in common.
 Anna and Hans asked Elsa for her blessing. But Elsa
thought their engagement was a bad idea. “You can’t marry a
man you just met. My answer is no.”
Anna couldn’t believe it. “Why do you shut me out? What
are you so afraid of?”
 Anna felt horrible! Elsa’s out- of- control powers had created
a terrible winter storm— in the middle of summer! “I’ll bring her
back, and I’ll make this right.” She left Hans in charge of the
kingdom, and raced after Elsa on her horse.
But as Anna rode through the fierce wind, her horse threw
her into the snow and ran off back to Arendelle.
 As they climbed the mountain, Anna and Kristoff
discovered a beautiful winter wonderland. There, they
met an enchanted snowman named Olaf. Anna thought
he looked familiar. “Olaf, did Elsa build you?”
Olaf smiled. “Yeah. Why?”
 Meanwhile, Hans was hard at work helping the people
of Arendelle. But when Anna’s horse came back to the
castle without her, Hans knew he couldn’t stay.
“Princess Anna is in trouble.” Hans turned to the crowd.
“I need volunteers to go with me to find her!” Soon, Hans
and some soldiers set out in search of Anna— and Elsa.
 Anna’s hair was turning snowy white!
“It’s because she struck you, isn’t it?” Kristoff brought Anna
to the trolls, hoping they could help. One troll told them that
Elsa’s icy magic had struck Anna’s heart. If the magic was not
reversed, Anna would soon be frozen solid. Only an act of true
love could thaw a frozen heart.
Anna knew she loved Hans— maybe a kiss from him would
work! As the friends hurried toward Arendelle, Anna began to
shiver. Kristoff was especially worried about her. He was
starting to care for Anna.
 At that moment, Hans and his soldiers arrived at the
ice palace and attacked Elsa. As she defended herself, Elsa
trapped one of her attackers behind icy spikes.
Hans cried out to her. “Queen Elsa! Don’t be the monster
they fear you are.”
 When Anna arrived in Arendelle, she said good- bye to
Kristoff and Olaf. Then, she raced to see Hans.
As soon as they were alone, Anna asked Hans to save her
with a kiss. But Hans refused! Anna realized that he had only
pretended to love her. He wanted to take over Arendelle by
getting rid of Anna and Elsa! “All that’s left now is to kill Elsa
and bring back summer.”
 Meanwhile, Elsa had escaped from the dungeon, but Hans
was close behind her. “Elsa, you can’t run from this.” Hans told
Elsa about her magic blast to Anna’s heart. “I tried to save her,
but it was too late.”
Elsa collapsed in the snow and closed her eyes. Everything
she had done to protect her sister had failed. And it was all
her fault.
Nearby, Anna was hurrying toward Kristoff when she heard
the clang of Hans’s sword. She turned and saw her sister— Elsa
was in danger!
 Instead of saving herself and running to Kristoff,
Anna leaped in front of her sister. “No!”
As Hans swung his sword, it shattered against
Anna’s frozen body. She had turned to solid ice.
 Soon the two sisters were best friends again, and
summer had returned to Arendelle. Elsa even made Olaf
a little snow cloud to keep him from melting.
One day, Elsa had a surprise for Anna— the castle gates
were wide open! “We are never closing them again.”
The sisters smiled at each other. Now everything was
the way it was supposed to be.
 An icy adventure!
When the kingdom of Arendelle is trapped in a
never-ending winter, it’s up to a fearless dreamer named
Anna to put things right. Anna teams up with ice harvester
Kristoff on an epic journey to find her sister Elsa, whose icy
powers have caused the terrible storm. Follow along with
their race to save the kingdom in this storybook, featuring
thrilling sound effects, word-for-word narration, and
original movie voices!
